To reduce the time spent assembling cabinets for electronic equipment, FDB Panel Fittings has introduced D-Snap/Snapline technology, which is claimed to offer high-quality finishes with assembly time reductions of up to 90 per cent.

The technology provides a way of assembling racks and cabinets, as well as their necessary hardware, without the use of tools or other fittings, such as screws or nuts.

FDB claims this technology is a solution to enabling side panels, tops, bases and doors to effectively be produced as flat items, which can be quickly assembled either at a factory or on site.

Of particular interest, claims FDB, is the Snap-Joiner, which can be used for installing 19in front panels of electronic racking, as well as for assembling other panels where rapid removal is required.
